Have you ever wanted to build evil robots? Or recruit
minions? Or take over the world? Then The
Ultimate Top Secret Guide to Taking Over the World is the book for you! In
ten (umm…twelve) easy steps, Kenn Nesbitt will take you through the finer
points of preparing to rule the world.
I’m definitely not the target audience for The Ultimate Top Secret Guide to Taking
Over the World, but I don’t remember the last time I’ve laughed so much
over a book. Mr. Nesbitt hits the right mix of irreverent humor and common
sense advice for villains and evil overlords (and let’s face it, he’s not
teaching readers how to be a good guy).
He covers everything from how to choose a name, the different
types of bad guys, the best way to develop a minion army, how to stop time and
how to defeat secret agents. The chapter on stopping time, “Stopping Time for
Fun and Profit,” was, hands down, my favorite chapter of the book.
Mr. Nesbitt keeps the tone conversational throughout the
book, explaining words or phrases when needed.
He never talks down to the reader, but instead invites them to have fun.
There’s even space at the end of the book to take notes or write out one’s
plans for world domination.
The Ultimate Top Secret Guide to Taking Over the World is perfect
for fans of Geronimo Stilton, Captain Underpants and Ricky Ricotta. If you have
aspirations of taking over the world or simply want to know how to build an
evil robot army this book is for you.
I've never even seen this book. It looks so cute!
